If we end up with just Torres Ake and Koulibaly would anyone be happy?

Are you being serious?

two left foot CB, great!

What's the difference in playing 2 right footed CBs?

If hes made his mind up and is going to make an announcement then it must be a pretty big announcement not to come straight out with on staying for my last year. So it's either a contract for life at barca or I've played my last game for barca thanks for everything. As I said tho IF this actually happening.

Ok, that's why I asked the question, not seen any reports about that!

On top of that I genuinely think had City not had the ban overturned Messi would have still tried to leave. It just would have been more of an open season with the likes of PSG, Juventus, and United. The rumours about Messi's camp contacting City (particularly from Tolmie) seem to suggest that that happened not long after the ban was overturned.

As long as we keep Gundogan I’m golden.

The sun are saying he’s agreed a £2.4m a week contract at city! Have they been hacked?!

That's not good let's hope it's old news

Dial back two weeks before any of this happened and ask the same question and most people would probably say yes. Whether or not Messi arrives shouldn't change that view IMO.

Not ideal in any scenario, Ake is a good squad upgrade , but we need a worldie alongside Laporte, and hopefully someone with serious leadership skills and pace.

With the way this has all been going, I'd be surprised if there is announcement coming today or any time soon.

There was a report earlier that another meeting is due to take place with no day or time specified.

That's the point I am making, if his father/agent informed Barca in March that he would be leaving, his release from the contract should not be a major issue.
